Kate Five Bio was a narrative prose bio of Kate Five written by James Bridger as part of the eponymous series. It primarily served to expand Kate's backstory prior to meeting the Symbiote.
Contents
Plot
Katherine Jones grows up a bright student in the United Kingdom, excelling both academically and athletically. She struggles to fit in, with neither the “smart girls” nor the “sports girls” groups in her class fully accepting her, but stands up for other bullying victims, demonstrating early moral character. She is one of the few girls from her school to go on to go to University, where she catches the attention of the top-secret Project Five, which gives her the chance to become an actual superhero, giving her super-strength and superhuman durability, as well as a pair of gloves set with “power crystals” that allow her to channel the whole of her powers directly into a punch. She never meets any of the presumable other four creations of the Project. Adopting the alias Kate Five, she goes on to be “snatched up” by the British Ministry of Defence when funding on Project Five is cut, becoming one of the superheroes of Section P.
Worldbuilding
Universes
- This story takes place in Reality Z-25 31-H.
Other
- Kate is twenty-two years old. She is 6 foot 2.
- Kate's “likes” are listed as “shopping, reality television, tea, walks on the beach, romance novels, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch”. She dislikes coffee, the movie The Notebook, “loud and obnoxious people”, and shaving her legs (though she still does the latter).
- Kate owns “a huge collection of German techno”.
- Kate is resistant to punches and the like, but is vulnerable to “psionic, poison and electric attacks”.
Continuity
- Kate's worst fear is mentioned to be “losing control and hurting someone”. This is dramatic irony as this very thing happened to her in COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1 due to the malign influence of the Symbiote. Indeed, when freed from the Symbiote's influence in COMIC: Symbiote Surprise, Kate later expressed great distress at what she'd done to Taki.
Behind the scenes
